If you have any queries about how to complete the diary please contact a member of the NDNS Team at NatCen on freephone 0800 652 4572 between 8.30am-5.30pm. PLEASE READ THROUGH THESE PAGES BEFORE STARTING YOUR DIARY We would like you to keep this diary of everything you eat and drink over 4 days. Please include all food consumed at home and outside the home e.g. work, college or restaurants. It is very important that you do not change what you normally eat and drink just because you are keeping this record. Please keep to your usual food habits.

Day and Date Please write down the day and date at the top of the page each time you start a new day of recording.

Time Slots Please note the time of each eating occasion into the space provided. For easy use each day is divided into sections, from the first thing in the morning to late evening and through the night.

Where and with whom? For each eating occasion, please tell us what room or part of the house you were in when you ate, e.g. kitchen, living room, if you ate at your work canteen, a restaurant, fast food chain or your car, write that location down. We would also like to know who you share your meals with, e.g. whether you ate alone or with others. If you ate with others please describe their relationship to you e.g. partner, children, colleagues, or friends. We would also like to know when you ate at a table and when you were watching television whilst eating. For those occasions where you were not at a table or watching TV please write 'Not at table' or 'No TV' rather than leaving it blank.

What do you eat? Please describe the food you eat in as much detail as possible. Be as specific as you can. Pages 23-29 will help with the sort of detail we need, like cooking methods (fried, grilled, baked etc) and any additions (fats, sugar/sweeteners, sauces, pepper etc).

- Homemade dishes If you have eaten any homemade dishes e.g. chicken casserole, please record the name of the recipe, ingredients with amounts (including water or other fluids) for the whole recipe, the number of people the recipe serves, and the cooking method. Write this down in the recipe section at the end of the record day. Record how much of the whole recipe you have eaten in the portion size column (see examples on pages 4 - 15).

- Take-aways and eating out If you have eaten take-aways or made up dishes not prepared at home such as at a restaurant or a friend’s house, please record as much detail about the ingredients as you can e.g. vegetable curry containing chickpeas, aubergine, onion and tomato.

Brand name Please note the brand name (if known). Most packed foods will list a brand name, e.g. Bird’s Eye, Hovis, or supermarket own brands.

- Labels/Wrappers Labels are an important source of information for us. It helps us a great deal if you enclose, in the plastic bag provided, labels from all ready meals, labels from foods of lesser known brands and also from any supplements you take. Portion sizes Examples for how to describe the quantity or portion size you had of a particular food or drink are shown on pages 23-29. For foods, quantity can be described using:
- **household measures**, e.g. one teaspoon (tsp) of sugar, two thick slices of bread, 4 tablespoons (tbsp) of peas, ½ cup of gravy. Be careful when describing amounts in spoons that you are referring to the correct spoon size. Compare the spoons you use with the life size pictures on page 36 of this diary.
- **weights from labels**, e.g. 4oz steak, 420g tin of baked beans, 125g pot of yoghurt
- **number of items**, e.g. 4 fish fingers, 2 pieces of chicken nuggets, 1 regular size jam filled doughnut
- **picture examples** for specific foods on pages 30-33 (for adults only).

For drinks, quantity can be described using:

- the **size of glass, cup etc** (e.g. large glass) or the **volume** (e.g. 300ml). Examples of typical drinks containers are on pages 34-35. If you are able, please measure your usual drinking vessel and record the volume on page 34
- **volumes from labels** (e.g. 330ml can of fizzy drink).

We would like to know the **amount that was actually eaten** which means taking **leftovers** into account. You can do this in two ways:

1. Record what was served and make notes of what was not eaten e.g. 3 tbsp of peas, only 2 tbsp eaten; 1 large sausage roll, ate only ½
2. Only record the amount actually eaten i.e. 2 tbsp of peas, ½ a large sausage roll

**Was it a typical day?** After each day of recording you will be prompted to tell us whether this was a typical day or whether there were any reasons why you ate and drank more or less than usual. We have provided a list of commonly forgotten food and drink to help jog your memory at the end of each day for anything you may have forgotten to record.

**Supplements** At the end of each recording day there is a section for providing information about any supplements you took. Brand name, full name of supplement, strength and the amount taken should be recorded.

**When to fill in the diary** Please record your eating as you go, not from memory at the end of the day. Use written notes on a pad if you forget to take your diary with you. Each diary day covers a 24hr period, so please include any food or drinks that you may have had during the night. Remember to include foods and drinks between meals (snacks) including water.

Overleaf you can see 2 example days that have been filled in by different people. These examples show you how we would like you to record your food and drink, for example a ready meal and a homemade dish. Your instruction booklet contains further examples such as how to describe food eaten in a restaurant.

______________________________________________________________________

It only takes a few minutes for each eating occasion! For your convenience a separate booklet with instructions and examples is provided.

Food and Drink Diary

INTERVIEWER NUMBER: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

It is very important that you do not change what you normally eat or drink just because you are keeping a diary. Try to write down what you are eating or drinking as soon as you can and not leave it until the end of the day. Record food and drink eaten at home and away from home, such as at school or at a friend’s house.

Whenever you have something to eat or drink write down:

**When:** Each day is divided into time slots from first thing in the morning until late at night until the following morning. Find the appropriate time slot and record the exact time when you eat or drink something in the “time” column.

**Where:** This could be

- Home
- Bedroom
- Away
- Street, Car/Bus, Café/Restaurant (specify McDonald’s, Pizza Hut etc.)
- School
- Canteen, Classroom, Playground

**With Whom:** This could be

- Alone
- With family
- With friends

**At table:** Were you sitting at a table whilst eating or drinking? If yes, record **At table.** If no, record **Not at table.**

**Watching TV:** Were you watching TV whilst you were eating or drinking? If yes, record **TV on.** If no, record **No TV.**

**What:**

Describe your food and drink giving as much detail as you can. Include any **extras** like sugar and milk in your tea or cereal, butter or other spreads on your bread and sauces such as ketchup and mayonnaise. **Do not forget to include drinking water.** If you know how the food was cooked (e.g. roast, baked, boiled, fried), please record this. If you’re unsure about how the food was cooked, please ask the person who prepared the food if possible.

On pages 20 - 25 you will find help with the sort of detail that is useful.

If you have eaten any homemade dishes e.g. a stew or sponge cake, please make sure the ingredients and cooking method are recorded in the space provided. You may need to ask the person who prepared the dish to help you with this. If another person at home is also keeping a diary and has recorded the recipes for the same dishes as you in their diary (the ADULT diary), you do NOT need to record these recipes again, just write in your diary “see adult diary”. If you have eaten any take-aways or any made up dishes not prepared at home such as at a friend’s house or in a restaurant, please record as much detail as you can about what was in the dish e.g. vegetable curry containing chickpeas, aubergine, onion and tomato.

Brand:

Please make a note of the brand name (e.g. Heinz, Walkers, Hovis) if you know it. Most packaged foods will list a brand name.

Amount eaten:

You can specify packet (e.g. Crisps, Yogurt), or number of individual items (e.g. biscuits), or slices (e.g. cake, pizza, ham), or teaspoons (e.g. sugar), or dessertspoons (e.g. peas). Be careful when describing amounts in spoons. Compare the spoon you are using with the life size spoons on page 27 of this diary so you use the correct name. You can also write S (small), M (medium) or L (large) portion.

For drinks you can write glass (tell us the size of the glass or volume using page 26 as a guide), cup or mug. You can also write the weight or volume from the labels on the packaging. On page 25, we have included a space for you to measure your usual drinking cup (you can do this by filling your cup with water to the level you normally have and then emptying the water into a measuring jug).

On pages 20 - 25 you will find help with describing how much you had to eat or drink. We would like to know the amount that you actually ate, so you need to think about how much you leftover. You can do this in 2 ways:

1. Record how much you were served and then how much you ate e.g. 3 dessertspoons of peas, only 2 dessertspoons eaten; 1 large sausage roll, ate only half

2. Only record how much you actually ate i.e. 2 dessertspoons of peas; half a large sausage roll

Food labels/wrappers: Please keep the labels or packaging from snacks, sweets, bought sandwiches and ready meals and put them in the plastic bag provided.

Was it a typical day? After each day of recording you will be prompted to tell us whether this was a usual day or whether there were any reasons why you ate and drank more or less than usual, e.g. I did eat less because I was sick; I drank a lot because I did sports. Please tick the correct box for your intake. We have provided a list of commonly forgotten food and drink to help jog your memory at the end of each day for anything you may have forgotten to record.

Supplements At the end of each recording day you need to tell us about any supplements you took. If you didn’t take any just tick NO. If yes, then please tell us the name of the supplement (e.g. vitamin C), brand (e.g. Boots), strength (it will tell you on the label - e.g. 50 mg) and how many you took (e.g. 1 tablet).

If you have any queries about how to complete the diary please contact a member of the NDNS team on freephone 0800 652 4572 between 8.30am and 5.30pm.

If you have any queries about how to complete the diary please contact a member of the NDNS team on freephone 0800 652 4572 between 8.30am-5.30pm. PLEASE READ THROUGH THESE PAGES BEFORE STARTING THE FOOD DIARY

We would like you to record in this diary **everything your toddler eats and drinks**, at meal times and in between, day and night for **4 days**. Please include all food consumed **at home and outside the home**.

| Time spent in the care of other | |--------------------------------| | If your toddler spends time in the care of others during the recording period then we would very much appreciate if those carers (e.g. crèche staff, childminder, friend) would provide details of the food and drink consumed. For this purpose you have been given a pack to pass on to carers explaining about the study and asking for their support in gathering the required information. |

Please provide the following information for each day of recording:

**Day and Date** Please write down the day and date at the top each time you start a new day of recording.

**Time Slots** Please note the time of each eating occasion into the space provided. For easy use each day is divided into sections, from first thing in the morning to late evening and through the night.

**Where and with whom?** Please tell us what room or **part of the house** your toddler was in when eating, e.g. kitchen, living room. If s/he ate outside the home please write that location down. We would also like to know **who your toddler ate with**, e.g. whether s/he ate alone or with others. If they ate with others please describe their relationship to the child e.g. parents, siblings, or friends. We would also like to know **when they ate at a table** and **when they were watching television whilst eating**. For those occasions where they were **not** at a table or watching TV please write ‘Not at table’ or ‘No TV’ rather than leaving it blank.

**What does your toddler eat?** Please describe the food your toddler ate in as much detail as possible. Include all meals and all snacks. Be as specific as you can. Pages 23 – 28 will help with the sort of detail we need, like **cooking methods** (fried, grilled, baked etc) and any **additions** (fats, sugar/sweeteners, sauces, pepper etc).

- **Recipes/Homemade dishes** If your toddler has eaten any **homemade dishes** e.g. chicken casserole, please record the name of the recipe, ingredients with amounts (including water or other fluids) for the whole recipe, the number of people the recipe is for, and the cooking method. Write this down in the recipe section for each food record day. Record how much of the whole recipe your toddler ate in the portion size column (see examples on pages 9 and 15).

- **Take-aways and eating out** If your toddler has eaten **take-aways** or **made up dishes not prepared at home** such as at a restaurant or a friend’s house, please record as much detail about the ingredients as you can e.g. spaghetti with mince, onion and tomato sauce. Brand name Please note the brand name (if known). Most packed foods will list a brand name, e.g. Bird’s eye, Hovis, or Supermarket own brands.

Labels/Wrappers Labels are an important source of information. It helps us a great deal if you enclose, in the plastic bag provided, labels from all ready meals, from foods of lesser known brands and also from any supplements your toddler takes.

Portion sizes Examples for how to describe the quantity or portion size your toddler had of a particular food or drink are shown on pages 23 - 28.

For foods, quantity can be described using:

- household measure e.g. one level teaspoon (tsp) of sugar, two thick slices of bread, 1 dessertspoon (dsp) of peas, ½ cup of gravy. Be careful when describing amounts in spoons that you are referring to the correct spoon size. Compare the spoons you use with the life size photos on pages 30 - 31 of this diary.
- weights from labels - use the weight marked on canned or packet foods, e.g. quarter of a 420g tin of baked beans, one 125g pot of yoghurt
- number of items, e.g. 2 fish fingers, 2 pieces of chicken nuggets, 1 regular size jam filled doughnut
- fruit, indicate whether the piece of fruit is small, medium or large

For drinks, quantity can be described using:

- the size of glass, cup etc (e.g. large) or the volume (e.g. 300ml). Please provide a measurement of your toddler’s usual drinking ‘cup’ on page 31.
- volumes from labels (e.g. 330ml can of fizzy drink).

We would like to know the amount that your toddler actually ate which means taking leftovers into account. You can do this in two ways:

1. Record what was served and note what was not eaten e.g. 3 dsp of peas, only 2 dsp eaten; 1 weetabix, ate only ½
2. Only record the amount actually eaten i.e. 2 dsp of peas; ½ weetabix

Was it a typical day? After each day of recording you will be prompted to tell us whether this was a typical day or whether there were any reasons why your toddler consumed more or less than usual. We have provided a list of commonly forgotten food and drink to help jog your memory at the end of each day for anything you may have forgotten to record.

Supplements At the end of each recording day there is a section for providing information about any supplements your toddler took. Brand name, full name of supplement, strength and the amount taken should be recorded.

When to fill in the diary Please record your toddler’s eating as you go, not from memory at the end of the day. Use written notes on a pad if you forget to take the diary with you. Each diary day covers a 24hr period, so please include any food or drinks that your toddler may have had during the night. Remember to include foods and drinks between meals (snacks) including water.

Overleaf you can see 2 days that have already been filled in. These examples show you how we would like you to record your toddler’s food and drink, for example a meal from a jar and a homemade dish.
